This was brought to a dinner party by a friend who reps the wine. It was the first time trying this winery, but of course 2015 is such a great vintage in the Northern Rhone that my expectations were high. Indeed, this wine delivers. It is an old school styled wine that really has a lot going on. It retails for around $25 which is a nice value. Purple in color, a bit flat in appearance. The nose is great but there is some funk/barnyard (if that bothers you). Also some plums, a bit of spice and black pepper. On the palate, this has light tannins. Good acidity. Black raspberries and plums over a dry/funky quality. Good finish. This worked well with food and probably better than on its own. Good finish. Drinking well now and presumably for the next five years. I need to look into other wines that they make.
